BACK to BACK CHAMPIONS!
In a time when persistence, loyalty, and hard work are sparse it is refreshing to see it take shape, especially in the Sports Arena! So many seek instant SUCCESS, but end up trading in Long Term Success in order to be a “One Shot Wonder”, if you will. For years the NFL sought “parody” in the league hoping to provide fertile ground for each NFL Team to know the feeling of winning a Championship. It is dangerously close to “picking” Winners and Losers!
Deion Sanders once stated, after the Pittsburgh Steelers won their 6th Super Bowl Championship, “Great Teams come from Great Organizations! The Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Rooney Family, certainly exemplify every bit of that!” In the case of the Liberty Tour Track & Field Series, the Empire State Sports Council recognized Country Mills Eagles as the 2017 Champion, and for the 2nd straight year! “We wanted to maintain a consistent approach to competition.”, states Head Track & Field Coach for the Country Mills Eagles, Anthony Mills. He continues, “Our goal is to perform perfectly at every Track & Field Meet, because Perfect Practice Makes Perfect! With such an attitude toward performance, there are likely to be other accomplishments, and being the 2017 Liberty Tour Track & Field Champion, is one of them!”
Country Mills Eagles took the top spot with a total of 2,376 total points throughout the 2017 Track & Field Season. However, right on their heels was Chatham Gold, the 2015 Liberty Tour Champion, with 2,064.50 points. The Norwich Bolts took 3rd with 820 points, just barely edging out Averill Park Road Runners, who took 4th Place with 812 points.
